first week on IM2

I'm on my second month of internal medicine and I just finished the first week.  Pretty exciting.  I feel pretty good about my ability to take care of these patients.  I also feel pretty good about the fact that I got all of my PGY2 applications submitted.  Now I just have to wait to find out where I get to interview.  Oh, and I get to worry about where I will be living next year and if B will be able to be there or if I'll be hours away and sad.  Right, there is always that... BUT, I'm trying to just ignore that for now.

So, not too much going on really aside from regular residency stuff.  Trying to keep up on my data collection for my project and work on my lecture for the ID elective and just be awesome in general.  I'm really happy this month b/c B is here in the same city with me.  I'm trying to keep my time at work as short as possible while still getting stuff I need to do done so that I can maximize my time with him before he heads off for rotations unknown again at the end of the month... after this month he is in a city about 3 hours south of here and then one in his hometown again and then -- get this -- in New Mexico.  wtf... no, I know he wants to do it and I know he's excited about it... I have to say I'm not as excited but I'm happy that he will likely have a good time. I'm just nervous about next year mostly... I really don't want to be away from him for a whole year.  I'm tired of saying/thinking that.  I hate that this whole residency process takes like 3 months of waiting impatiently.

ugg...

Speaking of uggs -- I think I'm going to go buy a new pair today.  These ones I believe:


Yeah, just so I have something to wear over my dress pants when there is snow... they are just so easy...

Ok, enough for now.
